SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
200 PM PDT MON MAY 29 2006

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-THURSDAY)...NOT A WHOLE OF CHANGE IN THE
FORECAST THINKING FOR THIS WEEK. UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL CONTINUE
TO RISE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER NORTHERN
MEXICO AND TEXAS SLIDES NORTH AND NORTHWEST AND BECOMES CENTERED
OVER NEW MEXICO BY THURSDAY. SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE NEUTRAL TO WEAK OFFSHORE AT NIGHT AND WEAKLY ONSHORE
IN THE AFTERNOON. THE EXCEPTION BEING ACROSS SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA
COUNTY WHERE OFFSHORE NORTH-SOUTH GRADIENTS WILL PERSIST...THOUGH
NOT AS STRONG AS THE PAST FEW DAYS. MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A
VERY DRY LOWER LAYER OF THE ATMOSPHERE FOR THE MOST PART.
HOWEVER...WE DID HAVE A FEW PATCHES OF STRATUS EARLY THIS MORNING
NEAR LONG BEACH AND A WEAK EDDY CIRCULATION WILL BE AROUND EACH OF
THE NEXT MORNINGS. SO SOME PATCHY STRATUS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A BAD
FORECAST FOR SOUTHERN LA COUNTY THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS. THE OTHER
PLACES WITH A GOOD LIKELIHOOD OF FOG TONIGHT IS THE WESTERN COASTAL
PLAIN AND SANTA YNEZ VALLEY OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY. WHERE FOG DOES
DEVELOP...IT WILL LIKELY BE DENSE. IT IS STILL NOT CLEAR IF WE WILL
SEE ANY ORGANIZED MARINE LAYER STRATUS DEVELOP BEFORE THURSDAY. ALL
OF THIS POINTS TO A CONTINUED WARMING TREND...WITH GREATEST WARMING
IN THE VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS. INLAND TEMPS WILL BE WELL INTO THE 90S
BY WEDNESDAY. EVENING TEMPERATURES ACROSS SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA
COUNTY WILL BE UNUSUALLY WARM THE NEXT COUPLE OF EVENINGS THANKS TO
THE DOWNSLOPE FLOW OFF THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE.

.LONG TERM (THURS NIGHT-MONDAY)... ALL MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW SOME FORM OF UPPER LEVEL RIDGING STRETCHING FROM THE SW U.S.
WESTWARD INTO THE PACIFIC. HEIGHTS APPEAR TO BE HIGHEST ON FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY...THEN DROP OFF SLIGHTLY SUNDAY AND MONDAY. SO THE ONLY
CHANGE MADE TO THE EXTENDED RANGE WAS TO BACK OFF ON TEMPS ON DAYS 6
AND 7. OTHERWISE...TYPICAL NIGHT AND MORNING CLOUDS AND FOG WILL BE
LIKELY AT LEAST OVER THE WATER AND COASTAL PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY
INLAND.

&&

.AVIATION...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE UPSTREAM WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST
WITH THE AXIS CENTERED ALONG 123W BY TUE MORNING. MODERATE WNW UPPER
LEVEL FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE EVENING THEN GRADUALLY
DECELERATE OVERNIGHT AS THE RIDGE AXIS APPOACHES. MODERATE
NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED GRADIENT OVER THE SANTA BARBARA AND VENTURA
MOUNTAINS WILL DISSIPATE AS A MODERATE ONSHORE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO
DEVELOP AND BECOME MODERATE THIS AFTERNOON. A WEAK TO MODERATE
NORTH-SOUTH PRES GRADIENT WILL REDEVELOP CENTERED OVER THE SANTA
YNEZ RANGE AROUND SUNSET AND DISSIPATE OVERNIGHT. MET/MAV WERE
SIMILAR AND HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH PERIOD...EXCEPT INCLUDED IFR
CONDITIONS OVER LGB AS PATCHY FOG SOUTH OF THE AREA PROPAGATES NORTH
TUE MORNING.
